- Hello All,
I felt I needed a change after having mid length hair for awhile.
Hope this is helpful if you want to try this at home yourself or have a family member help you.
As always thanks for tuning in .
Blessings,
Tanja
The haircut looks really good and suits your face. I have been cutting my own hair too for most of my life. When I was young, I got a few professional cuts but I was traumatized by being given a muffin cut several times by different hairdressers, even though I would bring in a picture of the way cooler short haircut I wanted. My DIY haircut may not be perfect but it always suits my features and I don't have to pay someone a lot of money to give me something I didn't want.
TIP: Get yourself a 'rat tail' comb and it will make the initial sectioning and cutting so much easier. The 'tail' will help you section, and the smaller teeth on the comb will keep your hair together while you're cutting it. Oh, and get yourself a larger hand held mirror to view the back section.
I was going to say this too. All hairdressers use the tail comb to divide and separate the sections of hair. It's so much easier to get just the right amount of hair in a straight line. I'm not a hairdresser but I'd be lost without my tail comb especially when colouring my own hair when I want to lift up the next section to get to the roots. I was watching because I'm thinking about trimming mine a bit.
We use all purpose combs for cuts not rat tails. Rat tails are more for sectioning foil highlights, braids,and perms.
We definitely do not use wide tooth (conditioning) com to cut hair with. Wide teeth combs are not good for cutting at all.
I really enjoyed your video. You did a great job. I'm 74 yrs old and have always cut my own hair. Thank you
Why doesn't anyone buy an adjustable mirror mounted to the wall in the bathroom and you can pull it out and adjust it to see the back of your head when cutting that way you can use two hands to cut your hair and you can see the whole back of your head without holding another mirror! So much easier that way...that's what I do and it makes doing your hair way more easier...they sell them on wayfair
I've had one for years! They are so inexpensive and integral for everyday styling.
Cause their too tight ass to pay for anything, let alone a haircut 😂
@@doreenwalden4918 that’s a bit mean. Some people want to learn so they’re not always dependent on others and can save some money. Everything has gotten really expensive in recent years. I enjoy Tanja’s videos. Happy Holidays
I learned a lesson from Covid pandemic. There were no salons open! So I had to trim my own hair. My gosh, I would have paid anything to have a salon cut. So if you can learn to trim your hair that's a good thing. Yes, a wall mirror that's adjustable would be a major help to cut the back!
Because nothing says “Grandma’s bathroom “ more than a mirror nailed to a wall, toilet seat rugs and a toilet paper cover doll that hides an extra roll under her skirt.
👏🏻💇🏻♀️ watched all the way through and the result is wonderful. The shorter length lifts and suits you. Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏻🇬🇧
I can't thank you enough for this video! I've been trying to cut my own hair for several months and just hope no one is looking too closely! Your explanation and demonstration were perfect! I have the same hair but much grayer. Totally unruly!
I'm glad it helped😊
Im so glad it was helpful Eileen 😊
I frequently cut my own hair too & what I do is comb it all down very straight sorta sticking my hair to my neck like you do and then I use a long strip of scotch tape to about when I want the length to be & cut along the bottom of the tape. It usually turns out pretty straight.
I do the tape method also. I ask my husband to cut it below the tape.
You did an amazing job on your hair. I don’t think I could do so good on my own and I went to college to learn. Not sure if you’re a stylist but amazing either way. It looks so pretty, well done! ❤.
Looks really good. I love how she's calm and doesn't freak out like I do when something isn't perfect. Makes me feel calmer about my adventures with doing my own hair.
Love your new cut! You did such a great job!
Perfecto! Us older ladies don't like to go to hair cutting places for many reasons. There are several older ladies in my elderly complex who admit to cutting their own hair. It might be a lucrative job opportunity for hairdressers to check with the elderly housing projects for house calls.
After receiving a few disastous experiences in salons, I started cutting and applying home permanents to myself. It may not have turned our profession looking but it always satisfied me. Recently I went to a Cost Cutters and once again I received a "strange" haircut. So I'm ready to start chopping it again. I must buy some new scissors, though.
This is exactly how I want my hair cut. Thank you, I never cut my own hair before, but I will try this hair cut. Btw you did better than some of the hairdresser I used before.
You did a great job cutting your hair. I love your style. Thanks for sharing this with us. Merry Christmas
Great job! I am going to try to get the courage to do that! This was very helpful in how to cut my own hair! Thank you!
Very nice style on you, looks beautiful. I do the same cut except using the regular rubber bands and section about 8 areas then cut below the rubber bands. It’s easier for me to establish a length that way and then touch up later like you do. I angle the fronts too, it does help. A bit of hair to clean up and if you make a small error especially in the back no one seems to notice & it grows out anyway. I used to cut everyone’s hair using clippers on my son & husband. My hair color is same as yours, it’s natural but friends think I have it highlighted at a salon.
I’m really liking as I watch you cut and styling your hair .I don’t cut my own hair but I love the way yours looks Thank you so much
That is EXACTLY how I have been doing my hair, as it is long enough, now. I haven't had a curling iron in years - I need to get one, again, as I just cut, and never think about making it sleek, plus I have thick hair.
Thankyou - very nicely done! 💥
Oh dear, couldn’t trust myself to cut my hair like that, I am too much of a perfectionist lol
I think you did a great job here, my arms ached just watching but you’re not my age. Clever how you did the back, such patience. Well done.
You did such a great job! Styling too; it looks so nice. 😊
Thanks so much for this . I finally cut my own hair to grow out as a bob. You really helped me! 😊
Good job ,easier if you use a finer toothed comb .
Looks great , you
Did an awesome job. You make it look so easy.
Lovely! This looks wonderful!
I just came across your channel. I LOVE that you did this. It's adorable.
Wow you did so good. Love the cut and color. Also you have a beautiful complexion. Merry Christmas and God Bless You❤️🙏🏻💯
My OCD is on full tilt watching this.
For sure lol
Me too!
Heart palpitations 😅
I bought an adjustable trifold mirror on Amazon to hang behind me on my closet door & absolutely LOVE it to use when cutting my hair. It was about $20-ish.
Looks so so good!! Thanks! ❤
I was watching one of your videos the other night, I loved how you styled your hair. Anyway, you gave me inspiration and today my hairdresser gave me the chop and I‘m back to a manageable short bob only mine is all one length without bangs. I‘m really happy about how it turned out so many thanks for nudging me into inspiration 😍
You did a good job! I wondered why you need to flat iron it. Didn't it look fine after blow-drying? But, I guess that's what these tutorials are for. Some of us country bumpkins need some teaching, especially if money is tight. Thank you!
I have a blunt cut bob... My son uses his buzzer to cut it all straight across the back and my sides have a tiny angle... He's better than a pro and doesn't take off more than I ask.
I've been cutting my own hair for most of my life. Because my hair is thin and fine, it takes less than five minutes to give myself the standard blunt cut. I don’t know why you didn’t like the length you had before. I found it suited you very well and made you look younger. Perhaps all it needed was some soft curls or waves to bring some interest to it.
Good job. Loved End result.
You did a good job ! Super cute cut on you !
You did an awesome job...it looks wonderful!
Fantastic job. I have to try this. Salon trips are getting spendy.
Wow! Your hair turned out so great! Super cute.
Good to see you. You did a great job. I cut my own hair, too. Merry Christmas! 🎄
Happy holidays!
Love it, great job job!!❤
I use a thin leather belt as my guide. I hold the two ends in front of my face it can be adjusted high or lower on the neck for length. It works great for me. And no uneven sides.
I love this idea! I have a thin stretchy belt that I think would hold it in place. I might give it a try!
@@clbellue I then take the thinning scissors and soften the sharp cut. It turns out right every time. The main thing is to get the hair combed down. I take my time with it.
You are so brave. Looks amazing 😊
You did a fabulous job!! It looks amazing!
wow, i'm looking at similar styles to yours because that's how i want my hair cut, i hate hairdressers, you did a awesome job
You did. An awesome job 🥰👍
Love your video! Have been watching cutting videos and yours is a little bit different which I liked. Some of them have the 3 rubber band method. I I tried that last night, but got confused and didn’t finish my haircut. So I’ve got to finish it but don’t want to have to pay someone to clean it up. I may try doing that myself. Anyway you have inspired me to clean it up.
you’ve given me the courage to cut my own hair. It’s the better thing that length as yours..Thank you very much.
You did an amazing job! Looks great!
Wow! I learned a lot. My hair is gray and now wavy and flyaway. Since 2020 it’s grown midway down my back a couple times and then I cut it. I want more of a Bob and shorter. The very back is the hardest and always looks like a very long layer is needed but I’m not sure how to cut. Last professional cut was layered and the results were awful. Thank you for showing we can cut our own hair.
You did an awesome job! Looks very attractive on you!
Adorable end result! Thank you for posting this video. Have a Happy New Year--from a brand new subscriber❤️
You did a great job. I'm a bob fan.
Looks great!
Tanya, I have missed you! Glad to see you are back! Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much, its good to be back 😊 Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas
I agree with someone else here. Invest just a small amount of money on a wall mounted mirror that can be pulled out so you free up your hand. Get a small toothed comb.
So glad that you’re back! I wish that you could cut my hair for me, it looks perfect. Merry Christmas!
Having had a very short pixie cut since 2000, I was ‘forced’ to grow my hair out during the Covid lockdowns and got to a stage where I could plait my hair - which I had never been able to do. But my goodness, it took days to dry (I refuse to use the heat of a hairdryer) I cut my hair to shoulder length after 4 1/2 years without a cut. May take another couple of inches off and do the wolf/butterfly (whatever it’s called) to have some layers that seem a bit more forgiving while I’m getting confidence in cutting my own hair.
What a great job you did!
Great job, price is right!
Thanks you did a great job!!!
Just a licensed cosmetologist opinion….i think it makes you look younger and shortens your facial structure with more fullness …like the round brush blow dry fullness. With us older ladies, with our faces starting to drop down, pulling the front sides so straight and flat pulls the appearance of your face down more. Just an opinion…All in all, good job…
Looks good. You are a lot braver than me. If I cut mine, I'd have different lengths.
Wow brave lady. I think I could get away with having a go at that now my hair's got thinner. I definitely wouldn't have had the confidence to do it when my hair was super thick.
Thick hair can be tricky seperating it out to managable sections is key.
Happy Holidays 😊
Looks really, really good. Nice to save the money too.
Agreed. My mid-length hair just hangs at age 70! A bob is the way to go for easy management and a nice lift of the face.
Looks beautiful!
Looks great!😊
I do the old Farra Fauset comb my hair all forward and I’m upside down and cut
Very nice cut and style for you.Your video is well presented.Good job.
came out great!!
Wow great job your hair is Fab
Great cut. Congratulations.
Great job!
You have a lot of patience. I'm losing hair on the top but the back toward the neck is so thick that in order for a bob to work, I have to undercut, or else it looks terrible. For the basic line, I just wet the hair, part in the middle, section off the sides, and then cut the entire back, at the bottom. Then, in the back, I do one vertical section about at the curve of the head, pinning up the hair above that line. Then using a men's beard trimmer with a guard, I undercut downward. Then cut the sides longer at an angle. After blow drying I use a straightening iron and 4 rollers. When all done, the hair then curls under as it should. My hair texture is also changing with age, becoming less sleek and more frizzy, the top and front.
Beautiful cut and styĺe
Looks fantastic
You are a very brave woman !
Great job I wear my hair the same way
Very nice results!
That is a good question.! But dang…in my tiny bathroom the shower & tub are to my back when I am in front of the vanity mirror.
You did such a great job! it looks great Tanja!
Your hair looks fabulous!
Your hair looks fabulous!
Thank you for showing how to do it
Looks good!
Amazing!
Cute, nice job!
So true , hair previously straight , now with white gray hair , if I were to air dry, I have a loos curl . Would love to know what cut I could do for the air dry .
Looks lovely ❤
Great job, it really suits you❤
You Are BRAVE !!!!! Looks wonderful but I would never cut my own hair ........
Yes. Absolutely......
When by arms could still reach back like that, I cut my own hair for years. I would put a piece of tape on the hair over the nape to hold it in place and cut an even line.
Very lovely. Classy..age appropriate.
Good job on cutting your hair.
Looks great 👍 😊
Looks great
Excellent job.
Beautiful!
I was thinking about doing this haircut too, as it's easy to style. I used to have it about five years ago and now I realize I don't want it after seeing you do it. I can't go back. I just don't like short hair, not at all. I'm 60 now and I'm wearing it longer. I had it to my waist about six months ago, which was kind of long for my age. But, now it's past my collar bone and I like it much better. I have salt and pepper like you. We actually kinda look alike. 😅
On a side note, my adult son tells me that I look like a Shakespearean boy when I have this haircut, I just can't seem to get that out of my mind 😂
Your hair looks great! Like it shorter.
very brave and it came out good.
I love that cut. You are a pretty lady.
Can you link a video of how to cut your bangs? Really like your over all cut video thanks
